On Tap in the Capital, April 23

NURSE PRACTITIONERS AT ISSUE: The Senate Appropriations Committee will consider a series of issues, including a proposal (SB 532), filed by Sen. Denise Grimsley, R-Sebring, that would allow advanced registered nurse practitioners to order any medications for patients in hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers or mobile surgical facilities. The nurse practitioners would work under supervisory arrangements with physicians. (8 a.m., 412 Knott Building, the Capitol.)

HOUSE CONSIDERS SCHOOL CHOICE, ALIMONY: The House will hold a floor session that is expected to include debate about a bill (HB 1145), filed by Rep. Chris Sprowls, R-Palm Harbor, that would allow parents to enroll their children in any public schools that are not at capacity. Among dozens of other bills on the agenda is a measure (HB 943), filed by Rep. Colleen Burton, R-Lakeland, that would overhaul the state's alimony laws. (9 a.m., House chamber, the Capitol.)

AMUSEMENT GAMES, WAITING PERIOD ON SENATE FLOOR: The Senate could approve a bill (HB 641) aimed at clearing up questions about a 2013 law that shut down the Internet cafe industry. Businesses, such as Dave & Buster's and Chuck E. Cheese's, that offer amusement games have faced questions about whether the 2013 law could inadvertently affect them. The bill would seek to end those questions. Also, the Senate could take up a bill (SB 724), filed by Sen. Anitere Flores, R-Miami, that would require women to wait 24 hours before they can get abortions. (10:30 a.m., Senate chamber, the Capitol.)

MEDICAL MARIJUANA AT ISSUE: Administrative Law Judge W. David Watkins is scheduled to hold a hearing in a challenge to a proposed Department of Health rule that would carry out a 2014 law allowing limited types of medical marijuana. Master Growers, P.A., and Baywood Nurseries Co., Inc., challenged the rule, which would provide a regulatory framework for the new medical-marijuana industry. (9:30 a.m., the DeSoto Building, 1230 Apalachee Parkway, Tallahassee.)

WOMEN BUSINESS OWNERS DISCUSSED: Sen. Gwen Margolis, D-Miami, and representatives of the National Association of Women Business Owners will hold a news conference to call for addressing the disproportionately low number of women directors on top corporate boards. (9:30 a.m., fourth floor, the Capitol.)

FPL NUCLEAR PROJECT AT ISSUE: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission will hold hearings on a proposal by Florida Power & Light to build two nuclear reactors at the utility's Turkey Point complex in Miami-Dade County. The hearings will focus on what is known as a draft environmental impact statement. (1:30 p.m. and 7 p.m., Hampton Inn & Suites, 2855 N.E. Ninth St., Homestead.)
